EV. JOHN GOODRICH was recommended for licensure at the North Carolina and Virginia Conference at Pleasant Hill in Chatham county, in 1860, by the committee on the licensure of candidates. He received license and was assigned to Moore circuit: Zion, Shallow Well, Garmon's, Moore Union, and Bell's. He attended the Conference at Damascus in Orange county, in 1862, and, in 1864, on the recommendation of the educational committee of the Conference at Antioch in Chatham county, he was solemnly ordained to the work of the gospel ministry. But at the Conference at Union chapel, the name of Elder John Goodrich was, on motion, ordered to be dropped from the list of elders, "he having united with another denomination." As to his success in the ministry, we have no record.
